This study investigates the relationship between environmental and social (ES) performance and firm performance, while also exploring the potential moderating effects of government ownership and CEO duality.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is defined as eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio <0.70 and predicts high CVD mortality. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is used to estimate an individual’s 10-year CVD risk. This study investigated the association between FRS and eGFRcystatin C/eGFRc
